Debra jolted awake, drenched in cold sweat.
Juan was nearby, soaking a towel. When he noticed she was awake, he asked, "Do you want something to eat?"

"I'l do it."
"Why are you out of bed? Go back and rest."
Debra handed him his phone. "Your phone's been ringing nonstop. Joe called."
Juan took the phone and, seeing the numerous missed calls, immediately sensed the urgency.
